It all started in the caffeine-fueled world of event planning, where we were just two professional acquaintances surviving logistics. But when the world hit "pause" in 2020, things got weird. With no events to plan and way too much free time, we became fast friends—spending our days at the dog park, drinking beers while Lincoln and Burt did most of the socializing. The turning point came at a mutual friend’s birthday party, only to realize we were the only two from our friend group that showed up. After a few margaritas and some magical summer air, the vibe shifted. Evan decided to jeopardize a perfectly good friendship and said: "I think we should make out and see what happens." Courtney’s internal monologue? “Why not? What’s the worst thing that could happen...or the best?” One kiss led to our very first date at a local Austin Brewery, Courtney made a shocking discovery: Evan was a Same-Side Sitter. Same side sitting in her mind was "cringe," but something about the cool summer breeze and Evan’s cheeky smile made her cross the picnic table, and there she realized she was also now a same side sitter. After several adventures in Austin, Evan and Courtney decided to take on Colorado, and they spent their first year together wandering through the mountains. On New Year's 2024, the night took a surprising turn. The ball dropped, excitement was in the air, Courtney thought Evan had fallen down—but he was actually on one knee. Asking again, this time if we should get married and "see what happens." Turns out, "let's see what happens" was the best thing that ever happened to us and bonus we each gained a dog out of that one kiss! 💋
